Christmas For The Kids

December 11, 2017 by Jen 37 Comments

Disclosure: I received the items featured to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.

We’ve covered Christmas for HIM and given you a huge list of ideas for a fantastic Christmas for HER. Now, it’s time for Christmas for the KIDS! I’ve put together a fun, creative list of gift ideas that are sure to bring big smiles on Christmas morning!

ORB Toys

Morph

Morph™ is the shape shifting fluff that does all the stuff – It shapes, it builds, it bounces, it even floats! Ultra Pink is a super light, super fun sensory sensation. It’s the coolest compound that you’ll have to feel to believe.

Braini Putti

  • Super bouncy fun putty toy that snaps, stretches picks up print and melts over any item without the mess
  • Gluten & Phylate free materials
  • Safe for kids ages 3+ and contains no small parts
  • Long-lasting: Never dries out
  • Extreme Electric Bold colors to choose from: Aquatica Blue, Cosmoid Blue, Pinkify Pink, Electroid Metallic, Hyperhue Orange and Luminite Green

Elasti Plasti

Elasti Plasti™ is the brand new super soft plastic that expandifies, super stretches, bubbles and much more. Grab some friends and create a giant, thin plastic parachute. Elasti Plasti™ super stretches further than anything ever created and lets you blow giant bubbles 20x its size with a regular straw. With infinite play possibilities, Elasti Plasti™ expandifies the way you play!

Elasti Plasti™ makes super wacky, slappy, wobbly sounds when thrown or flopped on the floor! Drape it over objects and watch as it expandifies to completely cover them!

My kids love slime! As much as I can’t stand the craze, I’m willing to give ’em a pass for Christmas. I really do love any toy that beckons my kids to leave the screens off and use their creativity. With ORB Toys, there’s so many artistic options to choose from!

Click HERE to check out all of the wonderfully crafty products from ORB Toys! 

Blendy Pens

 

My friends at Chameleon Pens don’t just make fun creative tools for HER, they also make these fun and exciting Blendy Pens for kids! Rather than write how Blendy Pens work, it’s so much easier just to show you!

 

 

My daughter, Eva, loves drawing, coloring, and working out all of her creative energy! I love all of the endless colors and patterns these Blendy Pens will bring to her efforts and she is going to be excited to unwrap these on Christmas morning!

Click HERE to check out Blendy Pens! Perfect for under the tree or tucked in the stocking!

Obersee Kids Luggage

When you are headed over the river and through the woods this holiday season, you and your kids will be excited to have one of these great sets of kids luggage from Obersee! My daughter is one of those kids who scours YouTube watching all of the known hacks for everything imaginable. I have no doubt that she will love the fact that that she can pack her clothes and her snacks all in the same bag!

The Obersee Kids Luggage / Suitcase boasts a blend of creativity, functionality and style. All kids luggage features a main compartment for clothing, toys and other travel items. Additionally, the inner compartment features clothing straps and a pocket large enough for books. The outside of the suitcase features two drink pockets, additional outer pocket for easy storage, a carrying handle, quality wheels, and a sturdy pull bar for easy transport. Best of all, the front pocket is an insulated snack cooler for toting snacks while traveling. Measurements: 16″ tall x 11″ wide x 8.5″ deep (40 x 28 x 22 cm); Suitable for use as carry-on baggage; Durable construction; Additional front pocket (on front of cooler pocket) for quick and easy storage; Ages 3+; Meets or exceeds applicable CPSIA & FDA standards.

With TEN different cases to choose from, you’ll find the perfect one to fit your kids unique personality or favorite color! Click HERE to check out Obersee!

Sun Tails

Our tails are swimmable and walkable (meaning, you can remove the monofin and pull them up for walking), and such fun for all. We have sparkly tails or smooth and silky premium realistic scale tails for you to choose from.

I’m pretty sure it’s every little girls dream to be a mermaid. Both of my daughters spent the majority of their time in the pool pretending to be mermaids, swimming and moving their bodies in true mermaid fashion. Even though the warmth of Summer and time in the pool or on the beach is months away, Christmas is the perfect time to make dreams come true! Now, with Sun Tails, you can do just that!

Fuji Red Mermaid Tail & Monofin Set

  • Available in child & adult sizes
  • Fuji Red comes in vibrant colors of red and pink
  • Realistic scale mermaid tails are made from 80/20% nylon/spandex material with 4 way stretch. The swimsuit material is very comfortable and works well for swimming, or as a mermaid costume.
  • You can bundle and save when ordering both the tail and monofin set together!

Before I wrapped up this Christmas wish for my daughter, I had to try out the monofin for myself (you know… just to see if it worked) I was really surprised not only at how snuggly the monofin fit, but how comfortable it was around my ankles. So many colors and designs to choose from, there’s even shark monofins too! Thanks to Sun Tail, anyone can be a mermaid!

Venice Lounger

Now that we are officially a homeschooling family, I love creating learning environments in our home. Most of our work is done on a nice clean dining room table over cups of hot tea, but for quiet reading time my Eva loves curling up in her bed. I wanted to find something for Elijah that wasn’t just comfy, but fitting for his personality. When I came across the Venice Lounger, I knew it would be perfect for his new reading spot!

When story time rolls around, kids will have an extra-special place to read with our Venice Lounger. Filled with the same plush gel memory foam as our mattresses, the Venice Lounger promotes comfort in stillness. It’s the perfect spot to snack or snooze after a busy play day, and not to worry, the lounger is big enough for grownups too, if you’re looking for some bonding time with your child.

  • Filled with nontoxic polyurethane and gel memory foam for premium comfort.
  • Cover is completely removable, replaceable, and washable.

A memory foam bag chair that is also machine washable? Yes please! Click HERE to snag a Venice Lounger for your little (or big) reader!

It’s hard to believe that in a couple short weeks, kids will be struggling to sleep on Christmas Eve, excited for all of the joy that awaits them in the morning! Secretly, I think I’m more excited than they are. With gifts on this list from practical to creative to magical and fun, these products for kids will hopefully make your shopping a little easier this holiday season!
